Coatings for Buildings Protection

Active Cool

High solar reflective, Sol-silicate paint with photocatalytic self-cleaning properties

Active Cool: The special inorganic-organic binder combination used generates a high quality, water repellent (Lotus effect), highly water vapour permeable paint for masonry protection.. Active Cool is suitable for coating mineral renders/ plasters and for renovation of sound adherent silicate paints, matt dispersion/emulsion paints, synthetic resin renders/plasters and intact external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS/EWI systems).
The absolute offered technology used by the Active Cool paint demonstrates a dual continuous action: When regularly applied on exterior walls, it transforms air pollution into harmless residues and at the same time performs a reflective barrier, which allows the limitation of energy use for cooling. As an interior wall coating (Nature Shield Silicon) it prevents the formation of bacteria colonies onto walls and at the same time acts as an air cleaner. It performs excellent hygrothermal properties and conforms with well known quality and performance standards dealing with concrete and masonry walls protection: EN 1062-1, limited VOC content, no preservatives or heavy metals.
